Is Travelling While Having A Fractured Fibula Safe?

I fracture my fibula on May 31st. It is a non-displaced fracture about 2 inches below my knee. It s a complete horizontal fracture with a vertical splinter on the side. I have a trip planned, flying from Atl to Phx. at around the 6 week mark. Would it be wise to cancel?
